Today we have a slightly different and more personal episode.
Earlier this month, I had the incredible experience of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales.
This challenging endeavour not only pushed me to my limits physically but also provided valuable insights and lessons applicable to running a business.
So in this episode, I'll share with you why I was there, the parallels between mountain climbing and entrepreneurship, as well as practical strategies to implement in your own business.
So whether you've climbed Snowdon before or not, get ready for an inspiring and insightful discussion.
